The cry of the poor widow came to the Emperors ear, and caused him to flay the Judge quick,¹ and laid his skin in his chair of Judgement, that all Judges, that should give Judgement afterward, should sit in the same skin Surely it was a goodly sign, a goodly monument, the sign of the Judges skin,² I pray God we may once see the sign of the skin, in England. Ye will say peradventure that this is cruelly and uncharitably ⟨image 67⟩this is cruelly & uncharitably spoken, no, no, I do it charitably for a love I bear to my country. God sayeth.³ Ego visitabo, I will visit. God hath two visitations. The first is when he revealeth his word by preachers & where the first is accepted, the second cometh not The second visitation is vengeance. He went a visitation, when he brought the judges skin over his ears. If his word be despised he cometh with his second visitation with vengeance.
